Case #4 • IT1 with 13 years of service chronic knee pain without objective findings on scope/MRI, fit by PEB, still has some limitations but able to do essentially all “IT” work. • What is “assignability”? How is that different than “deployability”? • Have you seen an assingment screening form? • What about the PRT? • Can he be ADSEP’ed? Did his case have to go to the PEB first? • What if he were a LCDR?
